XXXI: An Insane Night After Buying Ginger Ale

The night of July 11, 2025 was insane to say the least, and it all started when I bought some ginger ale.

10-Minute Warning CXL

I’m becoming more forgetful recently, even if I write a lot online or offline.

For example, I left my home and had an affogato at my favorite spot tonight. Before I started drinking and writing, I took out the box containing my wireless earphones, and the right part of my earphones was not there. I feel bad about myself for a minute because I usually check out my everyday carry before I leave home. And I had to listen to only 1 earphone while writing.

The good news is that my Mother found the right part of my earphones and I got it upon arriving home. But the bad news is, well, I’m becoming more forgetful. I need to be more mindful about my belongings.

I have another example of me becoming more forgetful nowadays, but my time is up tonight.

30-Minute Warning XXVIII

All right. What can I write here under 30 minutes?

After a long, stressful day filled with errands, I went home and waited for the arrival of the 2nd version of my custom Funko Pop. I got the new Pop around 9pm via Grab Express, and… wow! I was amazed by its appearance. A very special thanks to Gino Roberto – the artist behind the 1st and 2nd versions of my custom Pop – for killing it! Before he made the figure, he told me that he would make a better version of my Pop, and he delivered! I’m looking forward to taking photos of it in my makeshift studio this weekend. I’m also excited to bring the new Pop to my Tokyo trip with my family this coming week.

What else? Well, since I’m going to Tokyo next week, I want to truly enjoy and document the experience while posting less. That means I might not follow my blogging schedule this coming week. I will still try to post 3 times during the week, but that’s it. And as for my socials (especially on Instagram), I will try to be more active there again. I will try.

In other news, I already started preparing the things I will bring to the Japan trip. My clothes are good now, though I still want to buy a new buttoned shirt. Maybe this weekend? Fingers crossed on that. As for my toiletries and gadgets, I still need to prepare those, and I might need to buy a new laptop bag so I can bring my laptop and be able to blog during the trip.

And that’s it. Happy weekend, everyone!
